Comprehending Cornales: phylogenetic reconstruction of the order using the Angiosperms353 probe set.

ABSTRACT:

Premise

Cornales is an order of flowering plants containing ecologically and horticulturally important families, including Cornaceae (dogwoods) and Hydrangeaceae (hydrangeas), among others. While many relationships in Cornales are strongly supported by previous studies, some uncertainty remains with regards to the placement of Hydrostachyaceae and to relationships among families in Cornales and within Cornaceae. Here we analyzed hundreds of nuclear loci to test published phylogenetic hypotheses and estimated a robust species tree for Cornales.

Methods

Using the Angiosperms353 probe set and existing data sets, we generated phylogenomic data for 158 samples, representing all families in the Cornales, with intensive sampling in the Cornaceae.

Results

We curated an averag
